500 ml. Clear copper with a lasting thin disc of cream. Spots of lace. Aroma is caramel with a hint of spicy oak and vanilla. Flavor is similar with apple and tinges of funky leather, more wood and vanilla on the finish. Light-medium body is tingly and finishes dry. Another nice session ale.

Cask gravity at The George, Bethersden. Chestnut colour with bubbly off white head. Malty aroma with touch of tangy hop. Good malt flavours in mouth that slide into red berry and citrus. Not sure what I expected from this, but the hop really is quite spicey. Bit of tea on the aroma. Surprisingly tasty.
